本研究是以溶膠-凝膠法製備鋁酸鋅掺鈦(ZnAl2O4:Ti)之螢光體,並探討鈦活化劑及熱處理條件對結構、微結構及發光特性之影響。 ZnAl2O4:Ti螢光體經300oC熱處理後可開始形成鋁酸鋅結晶,經300~1200oC熱處理後皆為正尖晶石結構,具有奈米晶型及奈米粒徑結構,經1000-1200oC熱處理後,呈介孔型微結構。摻雜鈦離子主要是呈Ti4+電子組態,可均勻分佈於鋁酸鋅結構。活化劑濃度對結晶特性無明顯影響,增加活化劑濃度及熱處理溫度皆會增加晶粒尺寸,也會導致吸收截止波長紅移。經紫外光激發後,螢光體於放射峰為435 nm處呈藍光放射帶。活化劑濃度、熱處理條件及晶格缺陷均會影響發光特性。
In this study, ZnAl2O4:Ti phosphors were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The effects of activator and heat-treatment condition on the structure, microstructure and luminescence were investigated. The ZnAl2O4:Ti phosphors started to crystallize into zinc spinel phase after heating at 300oC. After heating at 300~1200oC, the phosphors had normal spinel structure with nanocrystalline and nanostructures. The prepared powders had mesopores micro structure after heating at 1000-1200oC. The activator had most Ti ions in the form of Ti4+ and was well-dispersion in zinc spinel structure. The concentration of activator did not affect the crystallize characterization. Increasing the activator concentration and heat-treatment temperature would result in coarsening of grain size and absorption edge wavelength red-shift. Under excitation of UV light, A blue emission band centered at 435 nm was observed. The luminescence characterization depended on the activator concentration, heat-treatment codition and lattice defect.
